Here. I'll make it easier for you by cutting out that superfluous text:

Indeed.

And you need to read my response, because I had read the line you're trying to point out. So here's mine since it went over your head:

That you will lose the property in 45 days due to reclamation because you can't enter a house that doesn't exist wasn't the question (and goes without saying).

You're quoting from the new housing reclamation guidelines. The inquiry was aimed at other previously existing systems besides those from the new housing reclamation guidelines.

For private housing, the housing reclamation system requires you to:

A) enter your house once every 45 days.
B) build a house on your property within 45 days of purchasing the land so you can enter said house once every 45 days (DUH!).

The question was whether or not there were any additional time limits outside that system. And the answer is, again, "no". Before the housing reclamation system was introduced you could allow a lot to sit without a house on it until the end of time. And if it were not for the new housing reclamation system (which the original poster specifically said they were already aware of) that would still be the case because there are no other time considerations to worry about outside of the new housing reclamation system.

Let me rephrase her question so it's super simple for you:

Q: Besides the housing reclamation system, in regards to owning property are there any other time-limit considerations to consider?

A: No.


Here's another way of asking the same question:


Q: I built a time machine and intend to travel a year into the past and buy FFXIV property back when it was still available. Other than the looming housing reclamation system that will eventually be added to the game, are there any other time limit considerations to consider?

A: No.


I can think up some more if the lot of you are still confused. :P

Gyson, what I'm confused about is what point you're trying to make. What are you even arguing against here? The OP asks multiple questions.

The answer to this is yes, you will.

The answer to that is that beside the reclamation system, no, but the reclamation system includes the case where a plot doesn't have a house - if you don't buy a permit, the land will in fact be gone, because the reclamation system includes a timer for that (which is 45 days, not 30).

This being an answer to the op as well as a clarification. It seems like the original question may have stemmed from a misunderstanding.

Edit: Actually, re-reading it again, I'm thinking the answer to the second question is yes too. They specifically asked about something separate from the decay time for not entering a house, and the decay time associated with not building on the land is technically a "separate" system in that you'll still lose the land even if there isn't a house for you to walk into at all.

It's not two questions. It's a question followed by an important clarification of the same question. The statements are meant to be taken together.

My comment about "reading, folks!" also includes the idea of understanding the spirit of the question before giving an answer, which (unfortunately for most in this thread) requires reading the entire question, giving it a moment's thought, and not just launching into typing the same wrong response repeatedly after glancing only at the thread title.

It should be crystal clear that original poster's concern is about losing the property prior to housing reclamation time-limits ever kicking in. They purchased the land but don't have enough gil for the permit (which can be a significant fee depending on the land). She is unsure if there is a deadline for buying a permit once the land has been purchased, a deadline that can result in her losing the property that exists outside of the scope of the new housing reclamation system. And the answer to that is "no".

It's no more complicated than that, but people seem intent on saving face or something by ignoring the actual point of the question.

And, yes, everything past post #5 has been a ridiculous waste of time since the correct answer had been given at that point. :P

The assumption that they were asking about losing their land in general stems from the fact that asking about a system prior to or outside of the reclamation timer would make no sense at all because the timer within the system kicked in the second they bought the land...unless of course the op didn't know that the timer applied to plots without houses, which is entirely possible as well.

But yeah, at this point it's just arguing semantics. :p

I am amazed how such an argument came to happen because of such a simple question....

There is a lot next to my house that had been purchased by a FC but no house was ever built on it.

It sat like that for at least a year, according to my neighbors. It was never demolished.

It will be demolished on Christmas day and we're all excited about someone actually moving in there.

Prior to the new system established by SE, a purchased lot could sit with no house on it forever. As of 3.1 you have 45 days to built your house and enter it to stop the timer.
